Dialing In Brain Health

Cereset® Takes a Non-Invasive Approach to Mental Wellness

Within the world of mental wellness and brain optimization, many different innovative technologies have emerged, offering promising solutions for those seeking better mental health. Among these groundbreaking advancements is Cereset®, a pioneering approach rooted in brainwave optimization, designed to promote mental balance and well-being.

Cereset® operates on the principle that the brain when in a balanced state, has the remarkable ability to regulate its functions. This innovative system doesn't rely on external substances or invasive procedures; instead, it leverages the brain's natural capacity for self-correction. Cereset® revolves around the individual's brain, allowing it to drive the normalization process. This individual-centric approach is instrumental, as it enables the brain to recognize and process experiences seamlessly. Cereset® utilizes sensors to detect brain rhythms, translating these patterns into gentle sound tones that enable the brain to self-adjust, fostering a state of self-regulation and balance. “I usually tell people that it's like mirroring your brain back to itself,” says Gina Fontaine, client center manager at Cereset®'s Cherry Creek location. “It’s like if you’re stuck in between radio stations and you hear fuzz. That’s what we’re doing is tuning the brain so that it’s dialed in and focused.”

Cereset® primarily focuses on addressing various mental health conditions and wellness goals, including sleep improvement, energy regulation, mood stability, stress management, cognition enhancement and even aiding individuals coping with long COVID symptoms such as brain fog. Clients have reported increased stress tolerance and improved responsiveness after sessions.

The process is a unique and non-invasive experience. Users are comfortably seated in a chair equipped with sensors that detect and analyze their brainwaves. Through these sensors, Cereset® identifies and interprets the brain's specific patterns and frequencies. Once the brainwave patterns are recorded, Cereset® employs its technology to mirror and translate these patterns into micro-feedback. This feedback is delivered back to the brain in real-time through precise, rhythmic tones. This process allows the brain to perceive its own activity, promoting a state of relaxation and enabling the brain to reset and self-optimize. Unlike traditional neurofeedback techniques that involve conscious effort or engagement, Cereset® operates in a passive, effortless manner. Clients simply relax—often falling asleep during the process—and let the technology facilitate the brain's natural ability to rebalance itself. At Cereset® ’s Cherry Creek location, technicians hold degrees in psychology, specializing in neuroscience, and undergo rigorous training through an extensive 120-hour program supervised by Cereset®'s Education and Client Services Director.

There are numerous examples of Cereset® client success stories. Gina talks about a wellness coaching business owner who, after a ski accident, struggled with trauma and sleeplessness. A Cereset® Tune-Up session swiftly aided her brain in rebounding from the stress of the accident, facilitating her recovery and restoring her ability to sleep. Gina also gives the example of a client who had such intense nightmares stemming from traumatic stress that she was thrashing and continually giving herself bruises during her sleep. After going through just a few sessions, the client’s brain began to self-regulate and she was able to consistently sleep through the night. Gina compares proper maintenance to tuning up an instrument, like a piano, to achieve optimal results when you feel your brain isn’t performing at its optimum level. The frequency of recurring treatments varies, depending upon the individual needs of the client.

Cereset® Cherry Creek also extends its commitment to mental health awareness beyond client services. They organize monthly Lunch and Learns on the third Thursday of each month, covering diverse topics like nutrition for brain support and stress impact on executive function, to educate the local community. The upcoming topic for January 18 is “Reset Your Brain: How to Revolutionize Your Resolutions”. Online meditation sessions and yoga classes are also offered to promote mental wellness.

Cereset® Cherry Creek’s commitment to innovation, individualized care, and community engagement positions its original technology as a transformative force in mental wellness, offering promising avenues for individuals seeking a path to balanced mental health.
